In 1936, President Franklin D. Roosevelt set aside 825,000 acres
of California desert as Joshua Tree National Monument. The park was later reduced to 560,000 acres. However,
Congress passed the California Desert Protection Act of 1994 that expanded
the park to 794,000 acres and raised its level of protection to National
Park status.

This website contains images produced from stereo photo
pairs that were manipulated into anaglyphs (3-D images). You
will need red-and-cyan stereo viewing glasses to get the 3-D visual effects. Photography on this website was taken by Phil Stoffer in winter 2003-2004.
